An Anti-Semitic outbreak occurred in Brailla this week-end when a group of black marketers were led through the town by a group of local citizens carrying banners reading “These are the saboteurs of stabilization.”

According to local newspaper reports the Jews were insulted and beaten several times during the procession. The Communist and Socialist press in the town strongly condemned the outrages and demanded that the authorities apprehend those responsible for the incident.
